More IndigoBlu......

Here again, I seem to be on a roll now. All courtesy of my lovely new laptop {how lovely she is too}
Just wish I knew how to work the EXPLETIVE DELETED THING!!!!!

Anyway more IB for you today.......

 
This is another design that had a brief showing on Create and Craft and for this one I have used the fantastic IB clock stencil, the clock altered egos and the stamps.
Have you noticed the "Time Flies When Your Crafting" stamp?
How true is that.
 
 
This one was also shown, I do like this one.
The message on this is just great and I can think of loads of times I shall be using it.
 
Right! we'll have a change tomorrow and we will have a bit of Kaisercraft I think.
Hope you can come back and visit.

A Preview.........

Of a new IndigoBlu stamp that will be launched at the Craft Hobby And Stitch Trade Show this weekend. This is another of Kay Halliwell-Suttons stunning designs and it's called Miss Austen.

I've also used the new Sheet Music stamp on this one. I've stamped it onto tissue paper and stuck it onto a deep shadow box frame then added some IndigoBlu Mega Flakes to gild it in some places. The stamped image is behind glass

A Beautiful Mind.....

 Another new set of IndigoBlu stamps
This is another piece that was featured on Create and Craft on Saturday.
I had great fun designing this one. I used TH Distress paints and stains and got all inky and painty. If you spray the card with water first, before you add the paints it helps them to start to run and spread better. Then you dry it off to set the paints before you spray again and kind of repeat with the stains.
I had no preconceieved idea of where the colours would end up, I just went with it and then decided which way around the stamping would go.
It was great fun using these stamps and also include the Altered Ego Cogs.
Altered Egos are fantastic.  I'm not sure what they are made from but they aren't chipboard, they are a bit flexible and you can colour with most mediums.
Create and Crafts Leonie and our lovely Kay gave me fabulous comments about this piece so I hope you like it too.

IndigoBlu Designs.......

New stamps showcased on Create and Craft yesterday. Did you see the shows??
Now I can breathe and sleep again!!

 It's the "I don't think they're good enough" syndrome again, that rears it's little head,  when I have designs to make, using the fabulous new stamps, sent to me by IB.
The designs Kay makes are incredible and are a pleasure to use but I have to admit to getting a bout of the eebie jeebies when the words "create and craft" are mentioned so I was one happy bunny when several of my designs were pulled out and commented on by both Kay and Leonie. So I thought I'd share those designs with you.
The new stamps are truly fabulous so I know you will enjoy using them, how can you resist!!
Tomorrow I'll show you A Beautiful Mind

Thank you all so very much for your inspiring comments and your never ending visits to my little old blog.
I don't know if you know how much it means to have you all take the time to come here and put such lovely messages. I really do enjoy reading them all, every single one of them.
I can only apologise, once again, about the lack of both photos and postings recently due to my laptop problems. Hopefully a brand new laptop will be joining my household very shortly (she says with baited breath).

Okay, change of subject! Kay Halliwell-Sutton will be back on Create and Craft this Saturday, At 11am and 4pm. She will be showing all the fabulous new stamps that the DT have been beavering away with. Hope you can watch or record.

Giveaway Time.......





Finally!!!!
I've just got around to sorting out the giveaway prize to celebrate my 200th posting here on my little blog.
I've chosen three Kaisercraft stamps for the lucky winner, who will be drawn at random, from random.org, from my followers (so if you aren't a follower, now is the time to become one and who knows we may get up to SEVENTY).

It was lovely to see lots of old friendly faces, and some new friendly faces, today at the MCM, Paper Craft Fair Craft show. Annette Lingwood that includes you too, and your paper cutter blade will be winging it's way to you very shortly.

So, time is fast running out for me to finish off my samples for IndigoBlu, no pressure there then!! I've still got several designs that I've prepared but just cannot get the finishing off bit right. Think I'd better step away from the craft room for tonight and have a fresh pair of eyes on the job in the morning when I'll also be finishing off another scrap layout for Jones Craft using some of the Marion Smith Designs Mad Tea Party Collection. This has to be finished for Monday, again no pressure.
Then I can start getting down to the business of making the samples for the   Trimcraft demos using the fabulous Santoro Range.

I think I might have to move my bed into the craft room tomorrow!!
